It says here, the Peleowetz, that solitary contemplation is a fitting preparatory action for my faithful reader.
Let its strength be given to him to understand matters with clarity and to ascertain absolute truth and judgment.
Let him make a reckoning with his master on accounting of this world, as well as inspirations or flashes of love for Hashem and fear of Him.
And he will indeed accomplish such, for nothing distracts him while he contemplates in solitude.
And to properly focus and to pour forth supplications and seek forgiveness in the presence of Hashem, a person needs quiet and calm from the preoccupations around us.
For these reasons it would be wise for a person to designate a place to stay that is reserved for him alone, with no one else there, so that he can isolate himself there to study Torah and to master the realm of holiness.
And if he has only one house that he must share with the members of his household, let him arise while it is yet nighttime, while they are also asleep, and use that quiet time to isolate himself together with his master.
Do not take these matters lightly and know the importance of the solitary service.
For in one hour of isolated contemplation, a person can study, gain understanding, or acquire of the realms of sanctity more than he will in an entire day spent in a place where he lacks focus and calm.
